my captivate keeps rebooting when i try to go to recovery mode then boots into the os.. Can anyone help me fix this. I got one of the updated phones and flashed it back to 2.1 using odin
We need a little more information than that to figgure out what's wrong here. By updated model you mean it came with2.2? by booting into os do you mean 2.1 or 2.2 or whatever otehr slew of custom roms there are. And by recovery do you mean the stock recovery or clockwork?

It came with 2.2 but i rolled it back to 2.1 to root it now i cant enter my boot loader..btw i meant stock recovery
How are you trying? The button combo I assume right? sometimes odin one click breaks the button combo.
Use adb on your pc
Or a terminal emulator on your phone (may require root)
If rooted use rom manager.
after trying CM on my desire C and being unhappy with the battery performance, i wanted to return to a sense rom. i did a full wipe (factory reset/cache/dalvik) , flashed the rom for revolution sense 5, and pushed the boot.img files to the phone with fastboot. i know the phone might take awhile on first boot, but i thought after 10 minutes something was wrong.
now every rom fails to boot, even if i use the stock rom and kernel, it stick at the white htc logo screen. i've tried several roms, and moved to cwm 6.0.3. the only thing i haven't tried is going back to stock recovery. i'd like to avoid that.
any suggestions?
joe
edit: i did manage to successfully reinstall CM10. not sure why none of the sense based roms will work. i assume the stock rom is also sense based.??
It's because if you install CM mod, you also installed file named boot.img which is kernel file. Unfortunately Stock rom doesn't work with modified Kernel (and I tell it from my experience), so if you want to go back to stock ROM you need to download stock Kernel file too.
So here are some tips to revert back to stock:
1) Boot in Fastboot
2) Install stock boot.img via Desire_C_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0
3) Boot into Recovery
4) Wipe all data
5) Wipe cache
6) Install stock rom
Your phone should be back with stock ROM and Kernel
I tried to up the firmware and recovery to flash the sense 6 custom rom but now i was getting bootloop. I tried restore the old rom, down the firmware and now i just can flash the gg edition rom,sense rom makes me stuck at the logo. Any body has an idea ?
I know this is not an issue forum but I CANNOT find one for the SM-i757M so this is where I'm going to put my question. One of the mods can move it if they want.
So, I tried to install CF-Auto-Root using Odin V 3.07 on my Samsung Galaxy S II i757M phone. Odin PASSes it, but it gets stuck on the red Chainfire logo with CF-Auto-Root and various info on the bottom sitting solid. It flashes every couple seconds indicating it keeps trying to run the script but it's not working. Upon going to recovery, which isn't custom, it displays the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message. At the top, it's clearly in Download Mode because it says "ODIN MODE" in red. I can even connect to Odin and re-flash CF-Auto-Root again. But it won't work. Can anyone help me either get it to work, or stop it from trying to run so I can boot my phone back into the firmware without having to wipe anything?
Thank you in advance.
Whyl are you still running stock? I think its better if you try custom ROMs and recovery as your device isnt officially supported anymore.
It's easier if you try philz touch recovery as it can root your android without flashing any zip files, if you don't like custom ROMs.

It's just a preference. I might end up doing that though... But that's only if I absolutely CAN'T get back to the firmware already there.

Flash back stock ROM and then flash philz touch.
Custom recovery won't make any difference to your stock rom experience.
If you prefer CF root kernel, then make sure you are not flashing Ice Cream sandwich version on Jellybean ROM or vice versa.

Yes, but I don't want to lose any of the apps installed, just abort OR force CF to continue. Will installing a custom recovery force it to abort, since CF USES recovery to install? Then, can't I root from philz, and boot back to the firmware still on the phone?

You don't need CF to root after flashing a custom recovery.
Just download supersu.zip and flash from philz or Twpr recovery. (download link is in supersu thread)
Flashing recovery without factory wipe will not cause any loss of data.
Yes you can boot into stock rom with philz touch or twpr as both of them support stock firmware.
Hi everyone,
I rooted and flashed an anroid 9. pie but this is too slow to use. what should I do? turning back to stock rom or an old rom like kitkat 4.4.4 ?
I also tried to flash some stock project from here but it didnt work. so pls help!
my device:
sony xperia z3 compact d5803
built no (before root)
23.5.A.1.291
I haven't had a Z3c a while now but try MarilliaDeOliviera's Experience ROM.
It's a Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM but it is fantastic for everyday use.
Because the screen touch response is fantastic and feels very snappy and smoother compared to other ROMs. None of that jittery or slow heavy scrolling nonsense.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/xz3c-x-p-e-r-e-n-c-e-r-o-m-t3513378
Flash latest stock ftf first then do this.

the problem is stock rom is not working. its on boot animation loop.
what to do then?
Don't know why it's doing that but we don't need to boot stock ROM up in order to flash a custom ROM .
Just enter fastboot mode and flash the latest TWRP for z3c via ADB command.
Then boot in TWRP and connect USB to PC and copy the ROM that you downloaded to your phone and flash it.

I think those old ROMs need a 4.4.4 kitkat base. So there are some instructions for downgrading. I will try then flash stock one
but tools are too complicated for me
You're using Flashtool to flash to stock, or what?

later that, I used a flashtool called "emma" and it flashed to stock marshmellow and made it unrooted!
also my recoveries twrp and cwm gone. I did not mind because it was faster but this time it turned out the old problem again. When i locked the phone, it shows black screen illuminated! what a sick problem it is. I want to flash a old custom rom like kitkat 4.4.4 or whatever stable and faster. but I cant install twrp. how to do?
what to do now?
I can't help you with custom ROMS (not my thing), but if you want to get back to stock 4.4.4:
Get one of the stock ROMs from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/general/list-stock-firmwares-d5803-d5833-t2906706 (2nd post)
Then use this Flashtool. It's unofficial, but it is the best Xperia flasher out there:
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
It's pretty simple to use. The first link has instructions on how to flash using Flashtool. This will remove root/Superuser and remove custom recovery, so you can start fresh.
I used LOS 14 and it was super fast on z3c. The LOS 16 is a bit slower but it is not a problem in normal use..
